One month into retirement - how do I feel?

I really do not feel any different.  I think that summer vacation just simply carried-on.  I have been very busy.  My days run away so fast.  The number of meetings I have attended in September for the Music Alive, as part of the Character Community Foundation, has been frequent.  So, I have been busy with Music Alive, meeting the Web Master and meeting also with Edel;  Then, I have the meetings arranged by Susanne with Character Community Foundation.  Then, I have been busy with personal performing projects, preparing, and even meeting with clients.  So, I have not experienced a day where I can say that I did not have anything to do;  in fact, my days are packed full of things that I need to do to stay organized and preparing myself for each project, whether it is for the new role or for personal performance, and of course, actually performing, which takes time too.  I continue to work with Schevchenko and my regular church playing continues.  In fact, I have a rehearsal scheduled this week with the church choir.  Last week, I had a meeting 4 of the 5 days!  So, I really have not had time to ponder how I feel about teaching.
In addition, I have been trying to help-out around the house a bit more:  I do some cleaning, some food preparation;  I do some groceries, and do some things that Florinda needs help with.  I would like to do more around the house, a bit more cooking and cleaning so that Florinda can relax a bit more.  This summer was particularly busy with the wedding preparations and so I did more around the house - inside and outside.
As for teaching, I think I may miss some of the “thinking” and exploring of interesting ideas that challenged me at school.  But, I really do not miss teaching as much as I thought - well, not yet anyway.  Funny.
